Forum :: EOSERV :: "Failed to upload file" Runtime Error?

I have started work on an Eoserv server and when I try to log on, it says "loading maps" then disconnects me.

I keep getting this error on eoserv:

[ERR] Client caused and exception and was closed: 127.0.0.1

[ERR] Runtime Error: Failed to upload file

I have searched the forum but I cannot seem to find a fix for this. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

What revision? And do you have maps (including the declared start map)?

It's the newest revision, (0.6.2, i think?) and yes, I have maps and have set the spawn point to an existing map.

MySql.

First, make sure your maps are named correctly, and there's no gaps between 00001 and your highest numbered map (you'd get a bunch of warnings on startup if maps were missing). They should be named like this (make sure viewing of file extensions are enabled...):

• data/maps/00001.emf
• data/maps/00002.emf
• etc...
  

Secondly, take a look at the following options in config/misc.ini, and make sure they're set to maps that actually exist (the "database default" is map 192 if you didn't change it):

## StartMap, StartX, StartY (number)
# Map+location new characters start on (0 to use database default)
StartMap = 0
StartX = 0
StartY = 0

## JailMap, JailX, JailY (number)
# Map+location players are sent when jailed
JailMap = 76
JailX = 6
JailY = 5

If you change the StartMap you'll have to manually modify your character's position in the database as well, or delete it and make a new one. Alternatively, add map a map numbered 192 to your server.

If none of those help, there's some kind of permissions problem (running the server as a different user, or you're locking the map files while EOSERV is running somehow).

That fixed it, thanks.
